In regards to the detailed studies of both Segal and Spaeth, and Brenan and Stier, valid points had been made for both sides of the argument. The question posed is rather or not stare decisis still exist in the courts rulings today. Segal and Spaeth analyze the rulings of dissenting judges of landmark cases since the start of the Warren Court while excluding cases with unanimous decisions and cases without progeny within the legal period. The areas of which they dissected and constructed the particular datasets for analyzing is superb as it specifically narrows down the specific information there looking for within their results. The findings from there assessments concluded that precedent did not play a overwhelming role in the sub sequential
Assignment 1: Explicating arguments The article Marcia Angell wrote discusses the ethics of running clinical trials in areas of poverty such as third world countries. It is largely stressed that the well-being of participants should be the main priority of the study, above research goals and quick results. She explains that participants in clinical trials must receive the best-known treatment available when part of the control group; otherwise, researchers would knowingly be giving participants sub-par treatment compared to the drug being studied. To enact justice, even those living in third world countries should be receiving the same treatment that a participant in a first world country would receive.
Jan Rindfleisch support her argument by pointing out that minorities do in fact, make up half of the population in the state of California. She further backs her argument by expressing that it isn’t fair, nor does it make sense to have museums and galleries to specifically generate private clubs and exhibitions just to display an “ethnic-only” show. She hints that, that is whitewashing, ostracizing, and completely racist to the minority population. Rindfleisch then articulates that “Art is a visual communication,” and to isolate half of California’s population, it literally means that that visual communication is being impeded. The author finally then refers to how art illustrates one’s self, their values, and how it is reflected back to an
“What do you mean?” ” Parents are paying for their kids to go to school and get an education, but they view it as going to school to participate in sports and get an ‘okay’ education along the way. Throughout, Kolbert argues that sports are praised more than grades, and I agree because it shown daily in the hallways of any high school.

Yes on Proposition 57 When Robert Gonzalez was 17 years old, he was charged as an adult because the public defender said his actions were an”adult-like crime”. Robert Gonzalez was the “wheel-man” during a robbery. The sentenced Mr.Gonzalez got a sentence of 20 years with 4 months. Proposition 57 is mainly for the juveniles that are getting a second chance to go to rehab and to get better. Proposition 57 is trying to get passed because there are too many people that are getting put into prisons for reasons that can be solved another way.
In Gerald Graff’s “Hidden Intellectualism”, Graff argues that there exist common misconceptions about being “street-smart”, or having a versed background in dealing with situations of life outside of the school environment. He states that people too often view street smarts and the knowledge gained at schools as being unrelated but, in actuality, they are two sides of the same coin. What is learned at school, which are “too narrowly and exclusively” categorized into subjects and texts, is considered by society’s viewpoint intellectual. However, the knowledge obtained from growing up on the streets is viewed under those same lens, “anti-intellectual,” as coined by Graff. These two perspectives, as Graff claims, are not black and white because
This point is later brought up when he relates sports to intellectualism using examples such as “…challenging arguments, debates, problems for analysis, and intricate statistics that you could care about, as school conspicuously was not.” (Graff, 384). Within this Graff talks about learning the “…rudiments of intellectual life; how to make an argument, weigh different kinds of evidence, move between particulars and generalizations, summarize the view of others, and enter a conversation about ideas.” (Graff, 383). This point relies on assertion because he is making a statement without any facts and expecting the reader to believe him.
The football players enjoyed the attentions of an enthralled school, complete with banners, assemblies, and even video announcements in their honor, a virtual barrage of praise and downright deification. As for the three championship academic teams, they received a combined total of ten minutes of recognition, tacked onto the beginning of a sports assembly. (759, emphasis added) Penrod makes a strong point with this first piece of evidence. This evidence shows that not only are the academic champions given little to no attention, but that little attention is degraded by being the opener for a "sports assembly" (759). Using this, he makes the point that "intellectuals constantly see their
In this article, the senator Bernie Sanders had a strong debate with the nominee to deputy by the president donald trump, russel Vought; about a post made by russel bought in 2016 implying that the Islamic community did not know Christ, and that's why they were going to be condemned. What Sanders considered discriminatory towards the Islamic community, and unleashed a long debate that had nothing to do with the current topic which was relevant to Russell's role in government. This discussion caused controversy because Senator Bernie Sanders was accused by some people of violating article IV of the constitution. This is a very complex issue because the statements made by Vought can be taken in many different ways because they are related to
In this paper, I will focus on Bonnie Steinbock’s claim on whether or not we should give equal moral consideration to species outside our own species group. I will first determine what moral concern means, according to Peter singer, and explain how he views the human treatment of animals. I will then outline Steinbock’s argument against Singer’s position and explain how her criticism is part of a much broader issue: that is moral concern. I will finally make my argument against Steinbock as well as address any issues she could possibly raise against my argument. Peter Singer believed that all species, whether it be human or non-human, deserve equal consideration of interests and quality of life.
Developing from the reasoning of (Russ Shafer-Landau, p.p 13), it is clear that there is a difference between normative ethics and metaethics. Normative ethics are those values that develop from within a personality and are always employed whenever ethics are breached. On the other hand the metaethics is basically the diverse elements that are considered crucial for building positive ethical believes. (Shafer-Landau, p.p 29), also brings forward other moral ethical elements such as the moral error theory, the desire-satisfaction theory, ethical particularism and the doctrine of double effects. All the above elements are crucial for shaping ones ethical perspectives and inclinations leave alone resolving ethical issues within a society.

Despite the numerous accusations that the organization has faced in the past years, Planned Parenthood and other similar groups may have been providing an effective means on educating and making available the use of protection and prevention of unwanted pregnancies. This is demonstrated by numbers released that in 2014, abortion rates in the United States have dropped to a record low of 14.6 per 1000 since 1973. US women are having abortions at the lowest rate on record since Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court’s landmark 1973 decision that legalized abortion. In fact, the rate has been steadily declining over the past three decades from its peak in the 1980’s.
Also, he shows that it is okay to admit student athletes because they learn to be discipline, respect, and leadership based on being on a team environment. He does have a fallacy of a False Analogy because he states that the author of the first essay knows nothing about football because he attendee home games and the author of the second essay would play and he was in this environment while in school. He thinks because student athletes put a lot of their time in to school and football that they should be getting a stipend with their scholarship because they put more hours into college work with all of their training and practicing and with their studies. He also, does not contradict
